wondering what to lube it with?

Use "Super Lube" grease, LPS#2, or graphite powder???

I'm staging it in Central Florida as to avoid FUn when traveling by air.

Thanks.

As far as the outside of the magazine tube is concerned all that's needed is the thinnest coating of common "gun oil". The Browning friction ring/tube braking relationship was designed to run on a light coating of the plain old "gun oil" that was available 80 years ago. The more modern "super slick'em" oil formulations may tend to defeat that braking action to some extent. Of course the other metal surfaces can probably be coated with anything suitable for use on guns with consideration given to the local environmental conditions.

One or two drops of any cheeep motor oil right below the friction rings will work wonders. Just be careful you don't overdo it for obvious reasons.
